Restore Windows Phone 8 (Windows instructions)

Thanks to trashmaster76 and feherneoh.

Go to XDA Thread

DO NOT ask for a backup. If you do not have one, you have to accept to be permanently on Android.

1) Download this zip and extract it in a new folder:

WP_Restore.zip

2) Copy the backup to that folder. Create another folder inside this one called "parts".

3) Open CMD in the folder that you created in step 1 and run this command:

imgman64.exe backup.img parts

(Replace backup.img with the filename of your backup)

4) Now, run these commands:

fastboot boot recovery_unsecure.img
adb push fame_wp_unlocked.gpt /cache/
adb shell
sgdisk --load-backup /cache/fame_wp_unlocked.gpt /dev/block/mmcblk0
sync
sync
reboot

Phone will reboot. ADB should disconnect at this point.

5) Now we have to flash every partition that is in the parts folder with this command:

fastboot flash partition parts\partition.img

Change partition with one of these (flash them in this order!):

  • TZ
  • SSD
  • RPM
  • WINSECAPP
  • MODEM_FSG
  • MODEM_FS1
  • MODEM_FS2
  • UEFI_BS_NV
  • UEFI_NV
  • UEFI_RT_NV
  • UEFI_RT_NV_RPMB
  • PLAT
  • MMOS
  • EFIESP
  • UEFI

6) Reboot the phone with fastboot reboot

Phone will now show smiley of death, that is normal.

At this point, you can use Windows Device Recovery Tool to flash a clean Windows Phone or reflash the one from the backup using thor2.

How to flash Windows Phone FFU with thor2

Note: Instead of thor2 you can flash FFU with Windows Phone Internals or Windows Device Recovery Tool.

thor2 should be at:

64 Bits Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Care Suite\Windows Device Recovery Tool

32 Bits Windows: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Care Suite\Windows Device Recovery Tool

1) Go to the thor2 folder and open CMD in it.

2) Run this command: thor2 -mode rnd -bootflashapp

3) Flash your phone's FFU file (download from LumiaFirmware) with:

thor2 -mode uefiflash -ffufile <Path-to-FFU> -do_full_nvi_update -do_factory_reset

4) Reboot your phone with thor2 -mode rnd -bootnormalmode

Done! Windows Phone 8 should boot.
